Overview
- Marion County, Florida, transferred Exantus to Kentucky on Oct. 28, and he now faces parole-violation proceedings under Kentucky oversight.
- Deputies arrested him on Oct. 9 for failing to register as a convicted felon within 48 hours of arriving in Florida, as required by state law.
- Authorities said he was located in a Marion Oaks residence very close to local schools, described as less than 40 yards from one campus.
- Exantus was released from Kentucky custody on Oct. 1 under Mandatory Reentry Supervision after serving less than half of a 20-year sentence tied to assault convictions.
- In 2018 a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity in the 2015 killing of Logan Tipton and guilty but mentally ill on related assaults, while Florida’s attorney general and the county sheriff condemned his release and officials confirmed the White House had been briefed.
